Chapter 738 Who are Tong Guan's people?
"What about the King of Light? Light symbolizes the sun and moon. Wherever the light of the sun and moon shines, that is where the ambition of Liangshan lies."
Ma Ling then raised another point of view.
"Hmm, the meaning is quite good, but the problem is, Lao Ma, have you forgotten that the thing Fang La started is now called the Ming Cult, and we're called the Ming King? Wouldn't that make us members of the Ming Cult?"
Xiao Jiahui first praised Ma Ling's idea, but then told him that it wouldn't work.
"Then how about we proclaim, 'Great is the Qian Yuan, the Primordial King?'"
Shi Qian also expressed his opinion.
"Hey, Shi Qian, that's interesting. It seems quite reasonable."
Qiao Daoqing said, "Shi Qian, what you said makes sense. The Prince of Yuan is quite interesting."
"No, no, this sounds like an injustice. Shi Qian, don't mess around. I refuse."
Ren Yuan quickly said that he didn't like it.
"Brother, what do you like?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Qian thought, "Hmm, that makes sense; it does sound like an injustice."
"Our Central Plains has been known as Huaxia since ancient times. Xia can be left out, since there is now Western Xia, but Hua, hasn't that been used for a long time?"
Ren had his own ideas.
"Since no one is using me, then I will be the King of China from now on!"
"King of China...that's great! Brother has an idea!"
Hsiao Chia-hui gave Ren Yuan a thumbs up, indicating that this was indeed a good idea.
"Alright, the title of king has been decided, and the three requests and three refusals have been completed. Now we just need to defeat Tong Guan this time, and then we will bestow the title of king upon my brother!"
Everyone said that their brother was finally going to take another step forward. Despite the strength of Liangshan, he was particularly cautious. Sometimes, the brothers couldn't help but want to give their brother a push from behind!
Fortunately, this time, the older brother has made up his mind to become king, otherwise the brothers would be anxious too!
"Alright, alright, let's leave the matter of the King's name here for now. The next matter is more important, which is dealing with Tong Guan. By the way, did the intelligence report mention who Tong Guan has under his command?"
Ren Yuan admitted that he had read the text a bit too quickly, skimming through it.
"Yes, brother, Tong Guan does have some men under his command."
Zhu Wu replied after looking at the intelligence report.
"When he fought Tian Hu, he had eight military commanders under his command, and now only four remain."
"Duan Pengju, Military Commander of Suizhou; Chen Zhu, Military Commander of Zhengzhou; Wu Bingyi, Military Commander of Chenzhou; and Li Ming, Military Commander of Xuzhou."
"No one died? That's interesting."
Ren Yuan remembered that in the original novel, all eight of these military commanders died in battle when Tong Guan attacked Liangshan. He never expected that half of them would still be alive now.
"Then there are the two imperial generals, Feng Mei and Bi Sheng."
"These two are still alive too?"
Ren Yuan is now very dissatisfied with Tian Hu, who has already been reincarnated. "Hu Zi, are you bad? You fought with others for so long and only managed to kill four of their flying attacks?"
They didn't even manage to take down a single elite soldier?
"Then there's the Zhe family. Zhe Kecun has gained a lot of military merits in Hebei this time. He seems to have tasted the sweetness of success, so it seems that the Zhe family also wants to get involved this time."
"The Zhe family is doing well in the Western Army, why are they getting involved in this?"
Ren Yuan was also somewhat surprised, not expecting the Zhe family to join in the fun.
"Zhe Kecun is still a child after all. Young people are just impetuous. However, he probably won't come with Tong Guan. If Tong Guan is the main force, he should be the flank."
Zhu Wu analyzed.
“Brother Zhu is right, but we need to be careful with this young descendant of the Zhe family.”
Gongsun Sheng thought for a moment, then said to Ren Yuan:
“Brother, why don’t we let Master Lu deal with him? Master Lu is also from the Western Army, and his subordinates, Shi Zhong and his brother, are also from the Western Army. It’s bound to be interesting when the Western Army meets the Western Army.”
"Furthermore, I also suggest that Chief Steward Huyan go along, since both the Huyan and Zhe families are military families and they might have something in common... Oh, right! Brother Yang Zhi can also come along, since the Yang and Zhe families are related by blood, and it will be easier for them to talk when they meet on the battlefield."
Ren Yuan had to admit that Gongsun Sheng was really something. Good heavens, he had arranged for everyone he knew to be there!
"What about Wang Qing?"
Li Zhu and Liu Min were also very concerned about this issue.
“Wang Qing will definitely come. Du Fei said that Wang Qing should have made a great contribution this time, but because of Cai Jing, he lost his contribution.”
"Tong Guan now hopes that Wang Qing can advance further so that he can help him in the future, so Wang Qing will definitely come this time. Moreover, if he doesn't come, Tong Guan will lose a lot of capable fighters!"
“Brother, Brother Du Fei said that Wang Qing has gained some of Tian Hu’s men this time, especially a new general, who has barely filled the gaps left by Boss Du and Feng Tai.”
Upon hearing this, Ren Yuan immediately understood the situation.
"Zan Tongmei, it seems he has temporarily surrendered to Wang Qing. This kid is indeed interesting, but there's no major problem."
"Brother, where are the online trolls? This time, two groups of trolls came together."
Shi Qian also asked a question.
"It's just sending ships, Shi Qian. Later, inform the naval brothers that the Nanjing navy sent them a lot of equipment back then. This time, the Sichuan and Jingzhou naval forces are coming together. They know what I mean."
Ren Yuan was never worried about the navy, because he knew in his heart that the Liangshan navy was the strongest in the Song Dynasty!
"Brother, shall we leave Wang Qing's men to Brother Li and the others?"
Qiao Daoqing looked at Li Zhu and Liu Min, and asked with a smile.
"Okay, let's do as we agreed before. Assistant Li, go back and tell Boss Du that Wang Qing will be in your hands this time."
"Brother, rest assured, we will surely, surely..."
Li Zhu and Liu Min felt a lump in their throats, and they immediately prepared to sign a pledge, but Ren Yuan interrupted them with a smile:
“We’re all brothers, why wouldn’t I trust you? It’s alright, Assistant Li, you just need to ensure the safety of our own brothers. As for Wang Qing, it doesn’t matter whether we arrest him or not.”
Ren Yuan did not force the task of capturing Wang Qing onto Li Zhu and the others. After all, Liangshan was fighting on its home turf this time, so it didn't matter if Li Zhu and the others failed to capture Wang Qing.
Liangshan has plenty of leaders who can ambush and capture people on the way, right?
……
Tong Mansion, Study.
"Wang Qing."
At this moment, Tong Guan was also talking with Wang Qing.
"Father-in-law, please speak."
"What are your thoughts on this attack on Liangshan?"
Tong Guan cut to the chase and asked directly.
"Oh? I, I'll listen to you, Father-in-law."
Wang Qing was a little confused. No, father-in-law, you are the commander-in-chief, okay? And what opinion could I possibly have?
I have no real power in the military!
“Wang Qing, sit down. Outside, to avoid suspicion, I can’t give you too much room to maneuver. But behind closed doors at home, between you and me, we are father-in-law and son-in-law.”
Tong Guan gestured for Wang Qing to sit down, then picked up the teapot on the table, poured him a cup of tea, and handed it to him.
Wang Qing was flattered and dared not remain seated. He quickly stood up and accepted the tea with both hands.
"Sit down. Why are you so flustered? Don't you consider me one of your own?"
"I know you're capable. Now, say whatever you want, it doesn't matter if you're wrong!"
"I just want to know, if you were the commander-in-chief this time, how would you fight against Liangshan!"
